I feel guilty. Don’t worry, Snowball seems fine.
She has been getting better with her poops and fungal infection on her chin. I have bought stuff off chewy.com to help.
But she is in pain. I MAY be able to get to a vet now after breaking down crying in front of my mom because Snowball is suffering. Because of this, I did a ton of research on pain medications, but everything is prescription except aspirin. I bought the lowest dosage I could find, desperate to help Snowball and willing to go to extreme lengths if it means no more pain. I cut the tablet into the teeniest and smallest piece ever and if I did my math right, it was around 3-5 mg. She seemed ok on it and even slightly more perky.
Snowball started walking around, looking around, and even ran a bit. But she still showed very obvious signs of pain. Maybe it wasn’t enough, but I am definitely never giving aspirin to her again. I was and still am so scared the aspirin is doing something bad to her stomach. She even stopped eating a little. I feel so anxious and sick to my stomach, crying over the fact I gave her something possibly dangerous.
She seems fine right now, after an hour or two, eating great and just sitting in her cage. Still puffed up and labored breathing tho. Just kinda shaking a little, but this has been going on for awhile, nothing new from the aspirin. It’s obvious it did nothing, or maybe it did, idk.
I need to know she’ll be alright, I made a mistake and wont make it again. Is there anything I can give her for pain until I can save up enough for a vet visit? She can’t even use her back legs anymore...
